on the 500m map, each ring is 500m, or the whole map is 500m in radius?

To the best of my knowledge, when radar is set to 500M the total radius showen is 500M. each ring of the radar represents about 125M in this view (500 / 4 = 125)

This is correct.

It's easily discernable by moving to within about 125 meters of a friendly ship and looking at the ship's position in the TAC.

great!! thanks

but What Is The Best Distance To Fire Hedgehogs?

I believe they fired at a range of about 300 meters. So about half way between the second and third ring in 500m mode.

What makes hedgehogs different from depth charges?

Hedgehos are contact explosives, which means they will only explode if they actually hit a submarine. Kind like a depth charge where you can't set a depth.

Also isn't the dammage impact of one hedgehog much less than one depth charge?

i would have thought so yellow, singly anyway but didnt the whole lot go off if one detonated?

In the game? Definitely not!

In real life? I would doubt it.

But this would make for an interesting new modern hedgehog weapon. When a group of hedgehogs is launched and hit the water, if any one of them detect touching a target (magnetic detection?), those charges would send off a radio signal that would also trigger all the other nearby charges from the same launch.

Or are hedgehogs just antiquated and that's that?
